ab: With the emergence of the browser searchable Internet in the early 1990s,
accessing the World Wide Web has become commonplace. In regards to its
impact on student research, current undergraduates have become savvy
searchers when it comes to accessing and integrating Internet documents
into their research papers. However, this ease of use has come at a
price. The overall quality of research being submitted by our students
has suffered. Many incoming undergraduates don’t make the distinction
between documents located via a typical Internet search engine and
full-text information generated from academic proprietary databases
housed on the library’s home page.
